Quote of Tom Hanks about movies and making airplanes... two of my favorite things

Making movies is complicated, maddening, highly technical at times, ephemeral and gossamer at others, slow as molasses on a Wednesday, but with a gun-to-the-head deadline on a Friday. 

Imagine a jet plane, the funds for which were held up by Congress, designed by poets, riveted together by musicians, supervised by executives fresh out of business school, to be piloted by wannabes with attention deficiencies. 

What are the chances that such an aeroplane is going to soar? 

There you have the making of a movie

    1. agreed! His post apocalyptic movie on Apple, Finch, is pretty good too. But, sadly, not as many people will see it due to the subscription, as Apple does NOT have much to offer on their streaming service
